Abstract
The landscape of Sarno river plain, among Vesuvio and Picentini mountains, is made up of dense areas, such as Pompeii and Scafati, and of fruitful countryside even if differently urbanised. Its regeneration is based on the idea of green discontinuous city, including rural areas, thinking the Giuseppe Samonà’s “extended city” over, related to the current urban problems. The proposal is a multipolar system, built up by small agro-urban clusters separated by rural areas and connected to the reclamation of Sarno river. The main goals of this strategy are to reduce sprawl, to improve soil and canal utilisation and to face overflowing risks and exodus needs.
